Spy On Your Competitors With Affiliate Espionage

Have you ever wanted to spy on people's successful PPC campaigns? Well, now you can with Affiliate Espionage. Affiliate Espionage is a small, little Firefox extension that provides several handy functions for an affiliate marketer and is useful for anyone who does any pay per click advertising. Affiliate Espionage can:

• Compile a list of keywords that an advertiser is bidding on.
• Identify whether or not they are affiliates.
• Figure out other sites the competition owns.
• Track over time which advertisers are successful.

Once you install the Affiliate Espionage Firefox Extension, you'll notice that whenever search using Google, Yahoo or MSN, the ads you see in the search results will now be annotated with Affiliate Espionage data. At a quick glance, you can see some quick statistics about each advertisement including average position, keywords, and total days the ad was showing. The way Affiliate Espionage determines that an advertiser is having success with their campaign is to track the percentage of time it sees the ads showing for a keyword. Its a simple formula really, but the tool makes it easy and will track this automatically for you.

Statistics are automatically updated every time you search, but to really harness the power of Affiliate Espionage, you'll need to populate it up with your keyword lists. In the settings of the extension, you can set up 7 different sets of keyword lists that can hold 500 keywords each. For keyword list you can schedule Affiliate Espionage to go out and collect data for those keywords once a day. If you want to check your keywords every day, you'll need to copy the same set of keywords to each list and schedule a different day to scan. That seems kind of clunky to me and I hope improvements can be made in this area.

Another useful feature of Affiliate Espionage is that it can see what other sites that an advertiser owns. It works by checking the IP address of the ads destination page, and finding other sites with the same IP. Now, it doesn't work for all the time, especially with people who use shared hosting for their sites. But I have a VPS with several sites on it, and it was kind of scary that it was able to pinpoint all the sites on my server. Finally, Affiliate Espionage integrates with a bunch of other free tools out there to make researching your competitors easy. By clicking on the Info icon, you can get Whois Info, see Alexa rank, get related keywords from Wordtracker, and utilize the free tools from SpyFu and Keyword Spy for each advertiser.

So how much will Affiliate Espionage set me back? Actually the tool is quite cheap and can be purchased for $9.97 with a 30 day money back guarantee. It also comes with a nice user manual and a bunch of training videos to get you started. Once you've spent the time to collect the necessary data, the tool makes it easy to do market research and find profitable niches and keywords. If you're doing any pay per click advertising at all, you'll want to check out Affiliate Espionage.
